Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh
I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road
[Verse 2]
Growin' up, rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road
[Verse 3]
But it's home
Oh, the only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road
[Verse 4]
Gonna leave, get a job
With the help and the grace
From above
Save some money, get rich and old
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
[Verse 5]
But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Huh, Tobacco Road
[Verse 6]
Whoa, shake it up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
Let's go
[Verse 7]
Ah, bring that dynamite and a crane
Blow it up, start over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road
